Summary Annotation <div><div><div><i>Russia, Freaks and Foreigners</i>is a collection of three thematically linked plays set against the backdrop of a fractured, post-Soviet Russian society. Written by acclaimed playwright James MacDonald, who has cerebral palsy, these performance texts critique accepted notions of normality within authority, offering various models of difference&#8212;physical, cultural, and moral&#8212;and their stories of dislocation. Their themes, contextualized here by companion essays, expand the boundaries of British drama and connect to the comic grotesque tradition by giving the &#8220;abnormal&#8221; a broad appeal.<i>Russia, Freaks and Foreigners</i>is a daring portrayal of disability from the inside.</div><div>&#160;</div></div></div>
